What Happened
Your vehicle's left rear taillight is a critical safety light that helps other drivers see your vehicle's position and direction. In some 2013-2015 BMW 7 series models, the replacement taillight might not be installed correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If your left rear taillight is not working properly, other drivers might have a harder time seeing your vehicle, especially at night or in low-light conditions. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect the taillight and replace it with the correct one at no cost to you. The repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
